First Strike?

Do you guys think that first strike on this card is beneficial, or does it tend to backfire by giving your opponent initiative?
I suppose you could use this card as a counter to FBTN, but I'm wondering if his numbers and first strike make him worth using even for an Abom recur...

On the other hand, he does get name on name from this:



Speaking of which, are you even allowed to have the EC version and enhancement version in the same deck?

It's the 11 attack that makes it lose initiative, not the First Strike. Only Army of Simeonites and Job could give him initiative on an individual basis.

The enhancement has no SA, so there is no problem with having both.

There has been exactly one time I have found this card useful, and it was in booster draft.  He is a BEAST (aha!) in booster draft.  I think one time I had him someone also pulled a CotH or TSA out of a Kings pack.  Without the Silver support, Goat ate their face :)

Outside of Booster, I really don't see much use for him unfortunately.

And yes, I agree with the preposterous bird picture, but this is also an interesting discussion to have.  Although, to make this actually legitimate, you should have posted in a board that would've been more suitable to either card play or strategy.

Rawrlolsauce!

I also see what you're doing here.  And since the question has already been answered....

Also, I'm getting tired of locking these threads, and leaving them there for people to see how cute they can be.  I think I'll just start removing them completely for a while, until this settles down.
